Just fired it up for the first time - and got all kinds of prompts for allow this or that connection, prompting for permission, etc.  I stumbled into a screen allowing me to configure these preferences, ?saved it, and moved on… Now I’d like to change one or two of those settings, but I can’t find the page anymore.
Can you tell me how to access that preferences page again?

Hi Jerry,
Before you start a track, Map My Tracks requires you to enter your username and password, and set up your GPS (if your phone does not have one build in). These settings are located under the “Settings” button on the front page.

The prompts for allowing connections and permissions are initiated by your phone. It is possible to set up defaults for these permissions on certain handsets (so you are not prompted every time you track to choose an access point etc). Which phone are you using?

Thanks for using Map My Tracks,
Rob

Rob,

I have - at this time, for testing - a Siemens SXG 75.  I’ll nose around and try to find the phone - internet access connections.  Any pointers GREATLY appreciated.

Jerry

ps - Love the potential of this app.  Looking forward to upgrading.

Not really a “track”, but I’m also looking for an “I’m ok”, (?new?) option.  Fire up app, click button, and it sends an email with location, date, & time to an email list I could manage.  I’ll submit something to the “Features Request”.
